Why doesn't it hurt? Have I ever felt this numb before? Were the tears an act? How do I actually feel? I've been through worse before but something makes this different. I think I'm scared to take on the world without you by my side.

Cemetery 02:19
Is it rude to make fun of a dead guy if he doesn't care? What the point of carrying the dead with us if anyone who cares is already dead? Grounds keepers, treading on graves day after day. Does it count as disrespectful if they're just doing their job? A cemetery with a fresh fence. What does that mean to you? Keep putting them in the ground; they'll be gone soon.

It took me a while to tell you. It's not that I didn't want you to know. It's just that these things take time. But it's okay, cuz now you know. It took me a while to figure it all out. Even still I don't really know. All I know is that I'm closer to the truth. I don't know what it means to finally be me. I can spend all day thinking about it, and get no closer to an answer, but I'm willing to put in the work. I can't wait to finally be me.

Emily 04:00
Because I could not stop for death, we both just kept on walking. Sometimes if you ignore a problem long enough, it just goes away. I tried to think a lonelier thing than I had ever seen. Surrounded by billions of people, but still undeniably alone. What's the difference between dead and alive if you're not truly living, no one by your side. I used to think I was better off by myself but that theory failed when put to the test. Now I recognize my dependence and I no longer see it as a weakness.

about

This album is a culmination of my life before college. These songs were written from 2014 to 2017 and were mostly recorded in my childhood bedroom on Fontaine Street.
